    Cobra Performance Braided Brake Lines = HEL Lines!

    in Pitstop

    Posted

    So, been doing some research on what braided lines to get, found some posts on here and also other forums about people saying CP are licensed under Hel but nothing confirmed or concrete about it.


    So yesterday i emailed CP and to confirm their response was:

     

    We are supplied by Hel with all of our component parts to make the lines up.

    We use the same equipment and processes as Hel.

    I was trained in the Hel Factory.


    Regards

    They only sell via ebay now: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/cp-racetec/m. ... ksid=p3692


    Just thought i would pass this info on, for my Hornet a full set of 2x front race setup and 1x rear £59.99 delivered with lifetime warranty, they will also send a few P clips if asked for free, cant go wrong!

    I used almost this exact setup for communing. the blade stuff keeps you warm and dry and has a removable liner for the summer months. very good.


    the boots were SHEEEEIIITTTEE!! i'd get something else. they were good at first, but quickly started letting water through. i wore a hole through the thin rubber sole on the left boot on the gear change through shifting really quickly (about 3 months) which let more water in, especially if i went through a big puddle.


    you've been warned about those boots!

     

    thanks for the heads up


    any ideas which other ones are good for similar price?


    i was looking at more touring type boots or shall i just get race type ones?

    General consensus is, only use a chain if you have a decent ground anchor to chain it too, otherwise they can use he chain to drag the bike


    a disk alarm may help and definitely a cover


    As for the chain: http://www.almax-security-chains.co.uk/ ... 0-131.aspx


    considered to be the best but not cheap!


    you may also want to ensure your insurance is changed to "kept off road" over night with no security, best way

    New goodies arrived today!

    I bought them direct from dragginjeans.net. Shipping was over what I would have paid at the dealers, but it was quicker and less hassle.


    The camos are a great fit. I usually wear either 32 or 34 waist, 34 leg. I got these in a 34 based on the way my denim ones fitted. I would need a belt if I were walking around town for a while, but they fit fine for walking to and from the bike. The legs are extra long too, so they are still plenty long enough when all folded up on the bike.


    At the bike show before Christmas, I tried on the denims in a 32 and couldn't get them on. I later found out they were a skinny fit, but still... damn. I went for the 34 there in the end and while not as loose as the camo's (I like loose fit better) they are fine for riding.

     

    Thanks mate :)

    Hi everyone......


    Just thought I'd show you this link, whilst we're on the subject of cams.......


    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/183959


    It looks very similar to an AEE MD80 and a Veho Muvi, but a damn sight cheaper.


    I'm certainly no expert on cams, but it seems ok, especially for the money. Just ordered one to try - seems a cheap option to do my first bit of recording.......


    Chris

     

    thats cos its the fake version of the MD80


    MD80 has slider keys and not push buttons, you can get these on ebay for £11 ish.

    CBR600RR vs GSXR600 vs R6 - which one would you have?

    so, im thinking of buying of these brand new, they have 0% finance offer on at the moment whcih makes it sound more appealing.


    my current bike is a Bandit which i will p/x in for the new bike


    i wont be using it for the track, and will be used for fair weather rideouts, also fair weather commuting maybe (35mile journey)


    i know i will have to test ride them but just wanted to know which of the 3 is best?


    Thanks

    quick starcom1 question

    I use Wintec 80 for bike to bike, you only need starcom if you want to connect other items, mp3, mobile phone ect,

    if you just want bike to bike or rider to pillion starcom is just added expense,

    The wintec is a good unit if your going bike to bike then I recommend the external aerial kite

     

    thanks mate, i think im gona use other devices too, ordered the cable though, for future reference it is "CAB-02S" to connect the A80 to the starcom.


    Roadtorque, i though the external aerial was illegal in the UK? where have you mounted it?


    also if you dont use the external aerial, where would you mount the A80? tank bag? pocket?

    have a think mate, £200 is a lot of money to spend on camera imo


    heres a few to look at:


    AEE MD80 Original: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AEE-Original-Mini ... 27ad1046ce


    AEE MD80 Clone: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Micro-DV-HIDDEN-D ... 414c5f4389


    Veho Muvi (AEE MD80 Rebranded Original): http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.207-1022.aspx


    and the extreme sport pack for it: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Veho-VCC-A001-Ext ... 2c50be397d


    lots of videos of each on youtube


    heres a good one of the Veho Muvi from Sven:

    ">



    Personally i have just ordered a Veho Muvi from Tesco for local store pickup this evening, for the price vs quality i think its the best, for better quality your looking maybe a GP Pro Hero but imo fot its slightly better performance its not worth the extra money over the Muvi.


    However if your set on spending £200, then go for the vholdr Contour 720p HD, this thing is awesome, vid: http://www.vholdr.com/contourhd/videos?vid=2


    Hope that helps


    btw, im no camera expert, ive just been doing some research for the last week as im wanting to buy a cam too.
